lol i said i fixed it man! haha but either way, rims... laaaaast on my list. im just piecing together my turbo setup and its going to be around 3 grand. i have no money for any other mods since this is a pretty major project. after ive done the setup, im getting more suspension work done since you cant really build a decent suspension system til you know how a car will handle with a turbo.

im basically just planning to get a good set of 32 qay adjustable coilovers , probably apexi. then ill be getting front and rear strut bars, sway bars blah blah blah. after that, ill consider rims, but its not a concern since im going to do a lot of street tuning on the car first, just getting it to drive really well. once im done ill get some nice stock looking rims. nothing above 17's though.

its a megan racing cat back. i decided to stop listening to peopel whod never even used their stuff and bought it anyway. got a good deal and paid 250 for it and its perfect for what i wanted. the quality is very very good for a brand with such a small history.

and im not dropping the car yet, as i explained, you cant tune a turbocharged cars suspension without the turbo installed. it would be stupid to get a set of coilovers and then realise that with the extra weigth from the turbo and the difference in Hp, the car drove like crap with them. i may be going for a sleeper look, but the car is going to also outperform anything else in its class becuase the suspension is going to be as detailed as thhhhhe turbo install which is nearing a 3 month process.
